We had our's mounted by an auto electric professional, due to the amount of work needed. He only charged us for 3/4 of an hour labor. Well worth it. The camera itself is mounted to the metal license plate frame. But a hole had to be drilled thru the hatch door to access the backup lights' circuit. However, the picture quality in various light conditions is very poor compared to a factory camera system. Therefore, my wife never uses it. I've never owned a vehicle with a backup camera or warning system, so I don't miss having one. If we could have a re-do, I'd opt for buying a vehicle with the factory system thru the nav system display. Good Luck!

I Don't know about the placement of the lisense plate, however the camera MUST be mounted on the center line of the Jeep. You will not get correct data if the camera is off line. R.G.

It does not allow the Jeep wrangler rear door to swing all the way open due to the spare that is mounted rear center on the jeep. Is there a way or product that will raise the spare with out interfering with the center light above the spare ? Is it legal to run without that center light above the tire ?

For something like that I would take it to a shop and have them mount an aftermarket one elsewhere. The one pictured above will work great if you can plate mount it and it wont be blocked

I put mine in the other way, I needed to drop down from hitch level. I found this same plate at tractor supply, but it was $60 more for the plate and the pint le hook

I ordered the plate with install from Jeep so I cannot help u. Suggest that you ask a rep fromBlue ox. Can tell u that I have towed 10,000 miles without a hitch. No pun intended. Tim

What she meant is if the bar that goes into the hitch is long enough for the vertical bar to clear the spare tire. It would have to be 8-9" minimum from the pin hole. Can someone please measure it? I also drive a jeep and would like to know before I buy it. Thanks!

Not as far as I'm aware. If you look at either side of the bumper under the jeep, you'll see two mounting flanges holdin it on. There's one in the middle too. It's easy to slide a wrench or ratchet in there and remove the bumper. That way you have unrestricted access to the frame bar where the hitch connects. Install the hitch, put the bumper back on and you're good to go. If possible, take the bumper off the mounting flanges and leave them connected to the frame.Hope that helps!

I have always mounted mine on the left side. I don't know why anyone would mount it on the right. The traffic will always be passing on the left.

Yes you need a spare tire mount, the bracket mounts to the existing studs on the tire carier. If you don't have one ask around on the jeep forums and someone may give you one for just shipping, lots of people have them laying in their garage.

It took me a while on my 1992 Jeep Wrangler because I wanted it on the dash with the other gauges. The original temp meter gave up, and I worked its spot with a Dremel tool to fit this one. But it comes with a couple of brackets that will allow you to mount it give or take where you want it. Consider also that you have to run the wire for the sensor thru the firewall for it's location.

Don,No a windshield light mount will not work on the passenger side of the Jeep. The mount would have to be removed.Thank you!

Not 100% sure what vehicle are you trying to mount this on? If it is a Jeep Wrangler it will mount up perfectly. They even give you the different threaded bolts in case you have a YJ, or TJ.

I mounted that on a 99 wrangler. Call the company, they are helpful or they make one for the YJ

please check with rugged ridge on the compatibility as its fixed on 4 screws , not sure if the spacing is the same as the Wrangler TJ of mine.

Jeff; I am away from my home, so not able to measure. However, I'll pass along my experience in case it could help others. I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler that I mount the cargo carrier on. It has a swing out spare tire rack. When it swings out it was hitting the tailgate side of the carrier. I ended up modifying that side by lowering it 1 3/4 inches in my case. It wasn't hard to do. Required drilling some new bolt holes, sliding down to the desirable height, rebolting about six vertical supports and cutting the excess off, and grinding them smoothe.. So, the outcome is the carrier sides are slated toward the tailgate and there was enough clearance now for the spare rack to swing out.

Not sure about Jeep specific. I have a Silverado. The item does fit perfect on a standard license plate.... so it should work out just fine.

It sits up 6" from your shank (square connection to your jeep) so depends on how low your tire is? Hope that helps.
